Project description:Podocyte injury is the hallmark of proteinuric kidney diseases, such as Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Minimal Change Disease. Therapeutic strategies in the management of proteinuric diseases are limited. Although agents such as glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, and rituximab have direct effects on the podocyte by stabilizing its actin cytoskeleton, these drugs are riddled with systemic toxicity and off-target effects that hinder their chronic use. We previously demonstrated that the loss of the kidney-enriched zinc finger transcription factor, Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15), increases susceptibility to proteinuric kidney disease as well as attenuates the salutary effects of retinoic acid and glucocorticoids in the podocyte. Here, we show that podocyte-specific induction of KLF15, using the tetracycline-inducible system, attenuated podocyte injury, glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial fibrosis and inflammation, while improving renal function and overall survival in HIV-1 transgenic mice. Enrichment analysis of mRNA sequencing of isolated glomerular extracts from this model shows that podocyte-specific induction of KLF15 activates pathways involved in stabilization of actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion, and podocyte differentiation. Transcription factor enrichment analysis, with further experimental validation, suggests that KLF15 activity is in part mediated by Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1), a transcription factor known to be critical for podocyte differentiation. Further, we confirmed the benefits of podocyte-specific induction of KLF15 in the adriamycin-induced proteinuric murine model. Collectively, these observations suggest that induction of KLF15 might be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of proteinuric kidney disease.

Project description:The progression of proteinuric kidney disease is associated with podocyte loss but the mechanisms remain unclear. Podocytes reenter the cell cycle to repair damaged ds DNA breaks. However, unsuccessful repair results in podocytes crossing the G1/S checkpoint and undergoes abortive cytokinesis. In this study, we identified Pfn1 as a major contributor in maintaining glomerular integrity and its loss in mice results in severe proteinuria, and kidney failure due to podocyte mitotic catastrophe, characterized by abundant multinucleated cells. Reentry of podocytes were identified by using FUCCI-2aR mice, accompanying the alteration of cell-cycle associated proteins, such as P21, P53, Cyclin B, and Cyclin D. Podocyte-specific translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) and RNAseq revealed a reduction of Ribosomal RNA-processing protein 8 (Rrp8) and re-expression of Rrp8 partially rescued the in-vitro phenotype. Clinical analysis of patients with proteinuric kidney disease demonstrated multinucleated podocytes and reduced podocyte profilin1 in kidney tissue. These results suggest that profilin is indispensible in regulating podocyte cell cycle and its disruption contributes to podocyte loss through mitotic catastrophe.

Project description:Proteinuria is the most important predictor of outcome in glomerulonephritis and experimental data suggest that the tubular cell response to proteinuria is an important determinant of progressive fibrosis in the kidney. However, it is unclear whether proteinuria is a marker of disease severity or has a direct effect on tubular cells in the kidneys of patients with glomerulonephritis. Accordingly we studied an in vitro model of proteinuria, and identified 231 albumin-regulated genes differentially expressed by primary human kidney tubular epithelial cells exposed to albumin. We translated these findings to human disease by studying mRNA levels of these genes in the tubulo-interstitial compartment of kidney biopsies from patients with IgA nephropathy using microarrays. Biopsies from patients with IgAN (n=25) could be distinguished from those of control subjects (n=6) based solely upon the expression of these 231 albumin-regulated genes. The expression of an 11-transcript subset related to the degree of proteinuria, and this 11-mRNA subset was also sufficient to distinguish biopsies of subjects with IgAN from control biopsies. We tested if these findings could be extrapolated to other proteinuric diseases beyond IgAN and found that the all forms of primary glomerulonephritis (n=33) can be distinguished from controls (n=21) based solely on the expression levels of these 11 genes derived from our in vitro proteinuria model. Pathway analysis suggests common regulatory elements shared by these 11 transcripts. In conclusion, we have identified an albumin-regulated 11-gene signature shared between all forms of primary glomerulonephritis. Our findings support the hypothesis that albuminuria may directly promote injury in the tubulo-interstitial compartment of the kidney in patients with glomerulonephritis. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of microdissected renal biopsies from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) RNA from tubulointerstitial compartments was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays.

Project description:To get more insight in cause and consequences of proteinuria, we studied glomerular gene expression patterns before and after the onset of increased urinary albumin excretion in a proteinuric rat strain. Spontaneously proteinuric Dahl salt-sensitive rats (Dahl SS) were compared to non-proteinuric, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In Dahl SS, UAE significantly increased starting from week 5 of age. Glomerular RNA profiles of 4- and 6 week-old rats were studied by Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: Time course analysis

Project description:Calcimimetic agents allosterically increase the calcium (Ca2+) sensitivity of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), which is expressed in the tubular system and to a lesser extent in podocytes. Activation of this receptor can reduce glomerular proteinuria and structural damage in proteinuric animal models. However, the precise role of the podocyte CaSR is still unclear. A CaSR knockdown in cultured murine podocytes and a podocyte-specific CaSR knockout in BALB/c mice were generated to study its role in proteinuria and kidney function. Podocyte CaSR knockdown abolished the calcimimetic R-568 mediated Ca2+-influx, disrupted the actin cytoskeleton, reduced cellular attachment and migration velocity. Adriamycin (ADR)-induced proteinuria enhanced glomerular CaSR expression in wild type mice. Albuminuria, podocyte foot process effacement, podocyte loss and glomerular sclerosis were significantly more pronounced in ADR-treated podocyte-specific CaSR knockout mice compared to wild type littermates. The co-treatment of WT mice with ADR and the calcimimetic cinacalcet reduced the proteinuria in WT, but not in podocyte specific CaSR knockout mice. In addition, four children with nephrotic syndrome, objecting glucocorticoid therapy, were treated with cinacalcet for 1 to 33 days. Proteinuria declined transiently by up to 96% and edema resolved. The activation of podocyte CaSR regulates key podocyte functions in vitro and reduces toxin induced proteinuria and glomerular damage in mice. Our findings suggest a potential novel role of CaSR signaling in control of glomerular disease. Proteomic samples: two backgrounds (CaSR Knockdown vs WT) two conditions (Treatment = 1µM R568 vs untreated control) two timepoints (24h and 48h) five replicates each 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40 samples
